Chapter 42 Zhao Xu's Weakness
Zhao Xu left, but the news that Mr. Han was incontinent in Zichen Palace was like wings growing, flying all over the palace, flying out of the palace and further away.
Inside and outside the palace, it is often performed wildly.
Zhao Xu returned to Funing Hall, changed his clothes and turned to Kangning Hall.
This grandmother had a very good method, so Zhao Xu could not help but be careless. She had to see his mother with her own eyes to be relieved.
When Zhao Xu arrived at Kangning Hall, Lu Dafang and Su Che also arrived at Cining Hall.
At this moment, Han Zhongyan had changed his clothes, his expression was dull, and he sat down below with a loss.
Empress Dowager Gao watched the two of them come and said lightly: "Sit down."
Lu Dafang raised his hand to salute Empress Dowager Gao and sat down slowly.
Su Che was very reserved and sat down next to Han Zhongyan with some caution.
Zhou Heli was next to Empress Dowager Gao, and his face was expressionless at this moment, but he could not hide his inner horror.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at the expressions of the three husbands, especially Han Zhongyan, and said, "The Ai family already knows the matter."
Lu Dafang was indifferent, sitting as if thinking.
Han Zhongyan was stunned, confused, and seemed to have not woken up.
Seeing this, Su Che took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Empress, please make the decision for Young Master Han."
The Secretariat of the Secretariat was the prime minister and called him the prime minister; the Privy Councilor and the Three Divisions were the deputy prime minister, called Shaozhi or Shaozai, which was a relatively serious title.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at him, turned her eyes to Lu Dafang, and said, "Grandpa Lu, what do you think the Ai family should do?"
Lu Dafang gently moved his fat body, turned to the side, and said, "The Empress is the grandmother of the official family, how to teach her a lesson is the Empress."
Su Che's eyes were a little nervous, and he moved between Lu Dafang and Empress Dowager Gao.
The royal family is not an ordinary family. Every move involves the hearts of the world and needs to be very cautious. What's more, this official family is a bit unusual.
Just a few days ago, the three ministers of the three ministers were imprisoned and almost tried the three ministers. Now the spirit is reduced by half. The Privy Councilor is incontinent in Zichen Hall and is about to resign and leave Beijing!
Lu Dafang silently said, "The official family should live in Funing Palace and learn the way of Renzong governing the country, so that it will be a blessing for all people."
Is this going to be under house arrest?
Su Che brows calmly, Han Zhongyan, who was ashamed, was also shocked and turned to look at Lu Dafang.
This proposal is very bold, but it is not impossible to implement.
But Empress Dowager Gao said lightly: "The Ai family can't do it."
Lu Dafang looked up at Empress Dowager Gao, and his voice was hoarse and firm: "Empress, it is related to the country and society. The ancestors have made the law. Please think twice."
Empress Dowager Gao had a high bun, and she looked rich and said in a very calm tone: "I said it, but I can't do it."
Lu Dafang looked at Empress Dowager Gao, suddenly lowered his head slightly, and then remained silent.
He knew what Queen Doctor Gao said.
It was not because of the affection of the grandparents and grandchildren or the identity of the official family, but the current official family, which was no longer the one from the previous few days. The reason why the official family dared to force Han Zhongyan to such a situation was because he had the confidence - the imperial guards in the palace!
If the official masters the imperial guards in the palace, it is equivalent to mastering the palace. Once the imperial palace is in charge, he will no longer worry about the Empress Dowager joining forces with the court to depose him or what happens.
With such confidence, he no longer worrys that the Empress Dowager and the court will join forces to suppress them. He can even use the imperial guards and take them!
Su Che and Han Zhongyan were not fools. They figured it out in a flash and kept silent.
The official family, who had been silent for so long, suddenly took decisive action and gained control of the imperial guards. The current official family is no longer something they can arrange at will.
Judging from his methods over the past few days, he has already made a good sense to not directly lift the table.
The Cining Palace was quiet for a long time, and Su Che broke the tranquility and said, "The official family wants to respect Concubine Zhu as the Empress Dowager..."
Empress Dowager Gao suddenly looked at Su Che, her eyes sharp, and she shouted: "No!"
There are no two days, and there can be no two mistresses in a family!
Empress Dowager Gao would never allow Concubine Zhu to be respected as the Empress Dowager who violated the etiquette and law, so she severely interrupted Su Che's words.
Su Che was interrupted and was blocked from what he wanted to say, and could only remain silent.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Han Zhongyan's face and said, "The Ai family does not allow Mr. Han to retire."
Han Zhongyan had already resigned from Empress Dowager Gao before. He listened to Empress Dowager Gao's words and just smiled bitterly, saying: "The official family has surrounded Zichen Palace. The next time the court starts, I will have to kill me in Zichen Palace."
Empress Dowager Gao's face turned slightly cold, turned to Zhou He and said coldly: "With the order of the Ai family, you will be transferred to Meng Yuan to lead troops into the palace and clean the Zichen Hall of the Ai family. Who dares to stop it? Just rectify the Dharma on the spot!"
Zhou He was shocked and could not agree. Empress Dowager Gao said again: "Before this, go to Corning Palace, call Concubine Zhu, kneel down in front of my door, and go back when will you know where the mistake is! "
Su Che and Han Zhongyan's face changed from fear and couldn't help but stand up.
If Meng Yuan led his troops into the palace, he would kneel down and punish Concubine Zhu. This is forcing the official family!
Is the Empress Dowager not afraid that the officials and Meng Yuan will confront each other in front of Xuande Gate?
If a bloodshed really happens, how can they deal with the aftermath and how can they explain it to the world?
Lu Dafang couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, so he looked up at Empress Dowager Gao. For a while, he said hoarsely as if he was sighing: "Empress, the official family is still young."
Empress Gao showed a cold look on her face and stared at Lu Dafang with ice.
Su Che and Han Zhongyan all looked at Lu Dafang's back. They knew the meaning of Empress Dowager Gao's eyes, and asked Lu Dafang to come up with a solution to this increasingly disobedient official who also mastered the imperial guards.
Lu Dafang looked at Empress Dowager Gao's expression and lowered his head for a while. As if everyone was impatient, he finally spoke, saying: "The imperial guards are not impeccable, as long as the officials abide by etiquette and law. As a grandmother, the empress is always in peace and prosperity, and the family is peaceful and the country is prosperous."
Empress Dowager Gao listened to Lu Dafang's words, her eyes were sharp and her expression was thoughtful.
Su Che and Han Zhongyan were also pondering and savoring Lu Dafang's words.
They all understood what Lu Dafang meant.
Lu Dafang said that kindness and power are equally important. Although the official has mastered the imperial guards, the imperial guards can only be in the palace, not only eat, drink, defecate, but also have the simplest salary to be approved and withdrawn. There are also a series of personnel transfers, pensions, family resettlement, etc., which one can open the Privy Council?
Therefore, if they want to shake the imperial guards under the government, they have some solutions.
But they couldn't do this. The official is really in a hurry. What can they do if they use the imperial guards to do?
Han Zhongyan's end was already miserable enough.
Therefore, what Lu Dafang meant was that the government should "according to the ancestral system" and then "the old man was at peace with the young man", which means that the old man was comfortable and the young man was attached to him.
Su Che and Han Zhongyan glanced at Lu Dafang, and had to admire the way the priests really hit the point with one blow, and they were very clever.
Empress Gao was expressionless and thought quietly.
What Lu Dafang said was open and upright, and his implication was that she wanted her to threaten Zhao Xu with the imperial guards, forcing Zhao Xu not to move around anymore, abide by the ancestral laws, oppose Wang Anshi's reforms, imitate Renzong, become a wise king of a generation, and continue the peaceful and prosperous era today.
Old and Young Master!
The old are leisurely, and the young are with him!
Everyone in the Cining Palace looked at Empress Dowager Gao, and only Empress Dowager Gao could do this.
Empress Dowager Gao thought for a long time, suddenly looked at Zhou He and said, "When you go to Kangning Palace, you will say that Mr. Han is not a priest, he is disrespectful to resist the order, and he will return home. As soon as the imperial guards are applied, the provincial eunuchs are responsible for coordinating. Please rest assured and prepare for the wedding."
Su Che and Han Zhongyan felt a little relieved when they listened to Empress Dowager Gao's words. Empress Dowager Gao did not force himself. Such a subtle point of view was the key points of the government. I believe the government knew how to choose.
Lu Dafang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhou He responded and turned around and hurried out.
Empress Dowager Gao's expression calmed down a lot, and looked at the Sanxiang and said, "What do you think of this, what do you think?"
Su Che hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It is the most appropriate for the Empress to make such arrangements."
Han Zhongyan raised his hand, but only smiled bitterly.
He believed that the incident of Zichen Palace had spread throughout Kaifeng, and he would definitely become a joke. Even if he hid back in the countryside, he would be ashamed to meet others.
How could he have thought that the official family, which was once not in their eyes, had such a heart-wrenching move for him!
It left him with no way out and no way, and he was so embarrassed!
